Due to unforeseen
circumstances, Undertow Tanka Review was not able to function last month. I had a heart attack, open heart surgery, and
an infection which had me visiting the hospital for a month. But we are once again able to accept
submission for Tanka and Haiku for our forthcoming Issue # 6.

We will be celebrating with
this issue our first year of publication.
All submissions are due by June 28.
Please send in your best Tanka and Haiku poems. The issue will be online by June 30th.

At the end of your submission, please include your full name and
country of residence. All rights revert to authors upon publication. Your tanka
must not be under consideration elsewhere or submitted to any contest.
Hopefully this will become a print Review in the near future. We accept
submissions year-round.
